If you have removable valve cores, get a Lezyne. It’ll fit perfectly and look nice, tyres will be at the perfect pressure because of the built in gauge. Then when you try to remove it you’ll also unscrew the valve core which you will then drop and lose when you remove it from the pump. Other than that one minor flaw, they’re brilliant.
Ramsaye-
The flaw is with the stoopid removeable core I’d say.

Indeed. I didn't realise I had removable valve cores until this happened when I tried to top my tyres up with my Lezyne out on the road. Have now tightened them all up permanently (I hope) with pliers.

Lezyne micro floor drive is amaze but if you don't get too many visits from the fairy then it's quite pricey to then sit around. I use a Zefal HPX on my about-town bike with a z-hose. Works great, is cheap and easy to move between bikes if you want.

Last night I got my first commuting p______e in years near Mile End climbing centre. My pump wouldn't work, so after 10 mins of trying to fix it I lobbed it in the bin and whipped my phone out to find one of those public pumps. Found one about 5 mins walk away, but that wouldn't work either, so called an Uber XL as I was getting late for my antenatal class. Then this morning my pump at home decided it didn't really want to seal on the valve any longer so I had to hold the head with one hand and pump the tyre up with the other hand. Fucking pumps. Is there a universal head replacement that's recommended?
Then this morning I had the temerity to ask a courier who made his lo-pro frame as it was a really nice looking shape, shiny in raw metal, a big T cut into the seatstay bridge and a nice curved gusset between inside of TT and ST, and he looked at me like I'd asked to fuck his mum. Soz mate, you're too busy to give me a straight answer, clearly.
